Microneedling in Andover, MA

Yes. A consultation is mandatory before laser resurfacing, microneedling and chemical peels at Aimee’s Skin Spa. We review your skin, health and treatment history, goals, likely downtime and the recommended treatment area before you book corrective care.

Expect some redness, tenderness, tightness, or swelling early on. Dryness, flaking, bruising, and pinpoint bleeding can occur. Recovery depends on the device and treatment intensity; allow a buffer before important events.

The early refreshed appearance is not the final result. Changes in scar appearance and texture develop gradually, and more than one session may be needed. Your next visit depends on healing and the device protocol.

Bring your skincare, medication and supplement list, allergies and recent treatment history. Avoid tanning and sunburn. Ask which active skincare products and hair-removal methods to pause; do not stop prescribed medication without your prescriber’s advice.

Use only products specifically cleared for freshly treated skin. Do not apply a new serum, retinoid, acid, or ordinary cosmetic simply because it is labeled “healing” or “hyaluronic acid.”

Avoid touching, picking, scrubbing, heat, heavy sweating, and swimming until your instructions allow them. Protect your skin with shade and a hat; start sunscreen at the time specified in your written protocol.

When cleansing is allowed, use clean hands and a gentle cleanser. Restart your regular actives only after the skin has recovered and your practitioner has cleared them.

Tell Aimee about active breakouts, cold sores, infection, open skin, eczema or psoriasis flares, poor wound healing, keloids, bleeding concerns, diabetes, immune suppression, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and allergies to metals or anesthetics.

Disclose current or recent isotretinoin, blood thinners, and immune-affecting medicines. Treatment may need to be delayed or cleared by a qualified clinician. Risks include infection, lasting pigment changes, scarring, and cold-sore reactivation.

Review your response after each visit. A series may be appropriate for scars or texture; the spacing and number of sessions are agreed after assessment rather than chosen from a generic schedule.
